Chapter 2534 Leshan’s plan!
Seeing that the senior sister said so, Li Leshan did not insist any more. However, after she went back, she tossed and turned and still could not fall asleep.

It was not until the next day, at daybreak, when she was just beginning to feel sleepy, that she suddenly heard noises outside again.

Li Leshan thought of what her master had said, that the emperor's edict would arrive the next morning, so she quickly put on her clothes and ran out.

As a result, when she just came out, she saw Zhao Jian practicing the latest Nine Songs Sword Technique he had learned, and judging from his level, it seemed that he had already mastered the first move of Donghuang Taiyi!

Cao Danshu was also practicing sword, but it was obvious that she had not yet mastered the first move. Her tired face showed that she had not slept well.

Seeing that his senior sister and junior sister had no intention of going to watch the fun, Li Leshan asked in confusion, "Senior sister, junior sister, why are you two still practicing dancing? Didn't I hear some noise? Where's the master?"

Zhao Jian did not stop what he was doing, but replied directly, "The master has gone out to meet the guests, and he told us not to bother with him."

Li Leshan originally wanted to join in the fun, but was very disappointed when she heard this. But before she could say anything more, she saw Wang Yue pushing the door open.

She was about to ask something when she saw what Wang Yue was holding. He asked expectantly, "Master, is that the emperor's edict in your hand?"

Wang Yue smiled and nodded, saying, "Yes, the imperial edict conferred a special official title of Patrol Censor on your master, but it has no rank."

After hearing this, the other two disciples didn't say much. After all, they had already listened to what Wang Yue said last night, and now it could only be proved that what Wang Yue said was more accurate.

After hearing what Wang Yue said, Li Leshan also wanted to take a look. She looked at what Wang Yue was holding and saw that it was obviously not just one imperial edict. She asked curiously, "What are these? There is more than one imperial edict?"

Wang Yue saw that although it was only Lady Li Wu who was asking, the other two disciples who were practicing swords were obviously listening attentively, so he said helplessly, "There are two more imperial edicts. One is a marriage decree, which allows me to find a marriage partner and then ask the emperor to fill in my name. The other one is to make me the headmaster of the academy, and they also specially granted me a large piece of land, which is our royal garden in the south!"

Zhao Jian was somewhat surprised when he heard this. It was obvious that the imperial edict was just to bribe Wang Yue, and for the future.

Cao Danshu also understood, and she understood one more thing: this was the emperor reminding Wang Yue that he was the empress dowager's now, but would be the emperor's in the future. After all, the empress dowager was old.

Therefore, the academy trains future students, firstly to help Wang Yue, and secondly to remind Wang Yue.

But Li Leshan's thoughts were very simple. When she heard that he was the principal of the academy, it meant that he officially recognized the identities of their female disciples, which made her extremely envious.

You know, if we have this academy, can these female disciples also take part in the imperial examinations?

Even if they cannot take part in the imperial examinations, they will have other disciples in the future who can call them senior sisters or something like that, which will allow them to have the same connections as men.

Thinking of this, Li Leshan felt that he should go back and tell his mother and sister that this was a good thing. Moreover, the opportunity to bring his sister and Wang Yue together must be brought forward.

Then, she rolled her eyes and suddenly said with a smile, "Master, tomorrow on the first day of the lunar year, my mother is going to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense. I wonder if Master and the sisters would like to go with us?"

Wang Yue originally wanted to refuse, but when he looked at Zhao Jian and Cao Danshu, he found that they both seemed to be somewhat eager.

Wang Yue understood after a little thought. His three disciples were young girls after all. It was impossible for them to study martial arts quietly all the time. It was normal for them to want to go out and play.

After all, after arriving in Kyoto, it seemed that they had not really gone around much. After hesitating for a moment, Wang Yue agreed directly.

The main reason why Wang Yue left was that he knew that he had just received these rewards and countless people were probably watching him. It seemed like a good idea for him to go out and play at this time.

Moreover, Wang Yue was not sure whether the Queen Mother would cause trouble for him directly after she woke up, so it was necessary for him to go out and hide to see the situation in the capital.

Wang Yue himself didn't care, but it was always very dangerous for several disciples to stay near the capital.

Therefore, Wang Yue thought that it would be a very safe thing for everyone to go to Xiangguo Temple together. If any unexpected events occurred, they could leave there at any time.

Li Leshan was so happy to see Wang Yue agreed, so she quickly said, "Master, I will go home and tell my mother and sisters the news."

Wang Yue didn't know that Le Shan was plotting against him. He just waved at Le Shan and told her to leave quickly.

Although Zhao Jian didn't say anything, she went straight back to the room to see what to wear tomorrow.

Although Cao Danshu was very happy, she was also a little confused because she had already written a letter home, but her brother never came.

This made her hesitate for a moment, wondering if this was a family choice or something else?
Cao Danshu herself didn't mind being Wang Yue's apprentice, but even though she knew it wasn't particularly likely, she was still a little worried about bringing trouble to her family, just like Li Zhi.

But now that things have come to this, Cao Danshu knows that it is too late to regret, and she does not regret it at all. She thinks it is better to make her position clear.

……

So, everyone in the group, each with their own thoughts, headed towards Xiangguo Temple together. Except for the Li family, everyone else also wanted to see the changes in the capital.

In fact, Wang Yue was a little wrong. He thought that after he controlled Queen Mother Liu, she would be angry when she woke up and would seek revenge on him.

But Wang Yue completely forgot one thing, that Empress Dowager Liu was already very old, her health was getting worse day by day, and she only had a few days left before her death.

Ordinary people are very afraid of death when they are about to die, let alone someone like Empress Dowager Liu who almost became an empress.

The more such a person is, the more he will believe in ghosts and gods. Of course, after he woke up and knew what he had said and done through the narration of his personal eunuch, he was directly frightened.

Therefore, Liu E, who was already ill, was frightened to such an extent that she fainted. Originally, her physique was much stronger than that of Concubine Li, but now she was seriously ill, even more seriously ill than Concubine Li.

Fortunately, Concubine Li was guarding the imperial mausoleum, while the empress dowager was in the imperial palace. The medical treatments they received were very different, so it was hard to say who would die first.

Therefore, the Queen Mother had no time and energy to cause trouble for Wang Yue. Instead, she felt that even the ghosts and gods were helping Wang Yue, so she did not dare to offend Wang Yue again until she figured out the real situation.

When Wang Yue was on his way to Xiangguo Temple, he heard what was happening inside the palace through the eavesdropping talisman, so he was of course relieved.

There are many people coming to Xiangguo Temple to burn incense at this time. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is shoulder to shoulder, just like the people who are traveling during the National Day holiday.

After all, there were no exciting events in ancient times for everyone to join in the fun. Only on the first and fifteenth days of the lunar month, when people were burning incense, could the people around come and watch the fun. But wherever there are lively places, there will be thieves, no matter where you are.

Just now, when Wang Yue was strolling in the temple, Cao Danshu, Zhao Jian and several girls from the Li family went to burn incense together, the fruits, incense and other offerings prepared by Madam Li were stolen by a thief.

Fortunately, Zhao Jian and Li Wu Niang acted quickly and knocked the thief to the ground before he could take a few steps away, thus preventing the thief from escaping.

However, the thief accidentally knocked over the box in his hand, and all the fruits and vegetables inside were exposed.

The temple was particularly lively. After hearing the noise here, many people ran over and started talking about it.

Some people were talking about the blind thief. After all, no matter who it is, if something was stolen from, they would feel uncomfortable, so they took this opportunity to curse him.

Of course, there were also discussions about the fresh fruits prepared by the Li family. They actually used these to pray for blessings, which was really too stingy and lacked sincerity at all.

At this time, the thief got up and said excitedly, "Ladies and ladies, I am really sorry. I just can't afford such a large dowry for my daughter who is getting married. That's why I have no choice but to steal. Please forgive me once. I will never steal again."

Among the crowd, some saints could not help but persuade the thief to do something after hearing his words.

"That's right, it's his first time, just forgive him."

"Yes, just consider it as a good deed."

"..."

When Zhao Jian heard this, she couldn't help but frown. She didn't expect that these people would actually support a thief. This completely subverted her three views.

The Li family was also very embarrassed because it was their things that were stolen and there was no loss at this time. If they cared too much about it, it would make them look wrong. Moreover, they did not have the time to care about it at this time because they were feeling ashamed.

Just at this time, Wang Yue and Cao Danshu were walking around the area, and when they heard the noise, they came over.

Wang Yue noticed that Le Shan seemed very uncomfortable, so he asked seriously, "What happened?"

Without even waiting for the Li family to answer, someone immediately told the story again.

After listening to what these people said, Cao Danshu said to Wang Yue, "Master, it is indeed very expensive to marry a daughter in Tokyo. Maybe what this person said is true."

Wang Yue frowned and said, "It is already stated in the laws of our dynasty that anyone who steals less than 5 yuan will be punished with caning!

Since you are willing to forgive this thief, you seem to be very generous people. Otherwise, you can all contribute money to help him marry his daughter off."

When everyone heard that Wang Yue actually asked everyone to pay to help this thief marry his daughter, those who had previously helped the thief to plead for mercy immediately retreated far away, and hurriedly said,
"What does it have to do with us?"

"That's right. What he stole belonged to these women, not to us. Why should we pay for it?"

"..."

Everyone distanced themselves from the matter one by one, and no one was willing to come and plead for mercy anymore.

When the thief saw this, he knew he had met a ruthless person, so he burst into tears and said,

"I really didn't mean it. I have an 80-year-old mother and a child..."

The two young monks standing aside were furious when they saw this scene. They knew that if the thief continued to shout like this, he would definitely be beaten to death, so they quickly walked towards Wang Yuexing and said,
"This donor should be merciful if possible. Since he has come to his senses, why not forgive him a little?"

After hearing this, Wang Yue sneered and drew out a sword, saying, "It is the Bodhisattva's job to forgive them. I am entrusted by the Queen Mother and His Majesty to travel around the world with a dragon-patterned sword to do good deeds and eliminate violence and protect the good.

Therefore, for this kind of thief, my mission is to send him to see the Buddha!"

"Hi~!"

After hearing Wang Yue's words, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

He is simply a killing god!

If we send the thief directly to see the Bodhisattva, wouldn't that mean we are killing the thief?
Everyone felt sorry for him, but when they saw the sword that Wang Yue had already drawn, they didn't dare to go forward.

The two young monks felt that if they continued like this, someone would really die here, and then their Xiangguo Temple would be disgraced.

One of the young monks went to ask the abbot, while the other young monk stepped forward and said to Wang Yue, "Donor, it was wrong for him to steal the things, but God has mercy on the living. It is really too cruel to kill him like this!"

Wang Yue looked at the little monk and said with a smile, "It seems that Xiangguo Temple is going to protect this thief?
He dares to steal here, maybe he is in cahoots with you guys."

When the little monk heard this, his face turned red and he wanted to explain, but he didn't know what to say for a moment.

At this time, Abbot Xianhui walked over. She bowed to Wang Yue from a distance and said, "I am Xianhui, and I greet Inspector Wang!"

Wang Yue didn't expect that the old monk was so well-informed. The monk knew about the imperial edict as soon as it was issued. His connections are simply amazing.

So he smiled and asked, "Are you also pleading for mercy for this thief, Abbot?"

Abbot Xianhui heard Wang Yue's threat, so he sighed and said, "God is merciful, I wonder if Wang Xun'an can give me some face and let him go."

Wang Yue saw Abbot Xianhui saying this, and he smiled and said, "Since the abbot has pleaded for mercy, I certainly cannot refuse to give him a chance.

How about this, let him become a monk in Xiangguo Temple to show his repentance and prevent him from stealing again."
